Dresses because they weren’t practical to my wardrobe because I never had enough money to spend on clothes before I learned how to sew. And they make me feel so feminine that I start glowing PINK!

Gifts for people I care about. Weather it’s dresses, hats, or curtains I enjoy that I make them feel special.

My favorite thing to make, has to be the cute tops and dresses i sew using a pattern I downloaded several years ago from the old Burda site. The pattern is E 971 DL-10 Tuniken EN. I have made so many versions of this pattern and every time I wear a new one, people are always asking where I got it and when they find out I made it myself, tey want me to make them one also. I will take pics and upload them later.

I love sewing up cute accessories because they do not take a ton of yardage.

Tough question I really just love to sew and working with beautiful quality fabric.

I love sewing for my daughter: clothes, stuffed animals, soft dolls, and dresses for the dolls.

I love to make suits, formal wear, outerwear coats, and skirts (all lined, of course). I like making classic styles that I can wear forever — to make all the effort really worth it!

I like to sew for myself (clothes) and for the house (shopping bags, pillow covers…)

Dresses – they make me feel pretty, so the hard work is all worth it in the end!

Shirts – if I can get them to fit right as store bought shorts never fit!

clothes for myself!

Anything and everything, I like to make it all.

dresses and jackets, definitely!

I love to make clothes for my mom because she looks good in them, appreciates them and I get to have my own real-live dress up doll.

Without a doubt, dresses! I cannot get enough! But I really should start making more separates – they really are useful to have in the closet . . .

I love making dresses. I tend to like vibrant fabrics and dresses seam appropriate for this type of fabric.

Oh, the love of fabric! Looking forward to some sewing after my pregnancy and would definitely love this! Thanks for the giveaway.

My favorite things to make are dresses because, I love to wear them!
Dec 20, 2011, 12.41 AMby dyeabolical
knit clothes are my favorite – they are forgiving, and a breeze to sew up on a serger.
Dec 20, 2011, 12.36 AMby shereesews
My favorite sewing projects are garment related. After seeing the lovely Britex rainwear fabrics, I’m inspired to sew a new spring raincoat!

My favorite thing to make were tote/handbags, but I’ve made so many of them as gifts, I’m bored with it. Now, I love making skirts for my daughter. They can be for school, weekend wear, or as a playdate wear.
Dec 20, 2011, 12.21 AMby downhighway61
I’ve not made much yet, but so far, bags. I really want to start making lingerie though :)

I love making dresses. There is just an infinite variety in terms of shapes, patterns, colors – it never gets old and always looks great.

I like making miniatures. I enjoy the small pieces and how patterns look at a small scale.

I love to make dresses and skirts. I have a hard time finding things that fit me just right. I recently made a pencil skirt that fits so perfectly. Now I can’t bear to buy anything because I’m like, " I can make that"

I love making dresses! There are so many nice ones I want to own, and it feels much better to make them than to buy them.
